2011/12 FCW crew.
@wrestlerusso
& I would shoot updated pics every couple weeks of the entire crew.
Thousands of pictures, hundreds of different characters, concepts & looks.
This era was very fun - Doc & the Dream at the helm 👍
So we know Scott Steiner shocking invented the 450 splash (aka the one and a half Superfly) in 87, we know he popularized the Frankensteiner in the US, he invented the Blockbuster suplex (aka pudgyplex😉), but just saw him hit a reverse rana in 92. First one, maybe?
Holy shit.
Over 2 minutes of Gary Albright wrecking people in UWFi.
One of the most fun wrestlers ever to watch. Once those hands got clasped, fans knew what was up.
At Dream’s funeral, I showed up and saw the bus of WWE/NXT talent in front of the church. Windham is w/ his dad/mom/brother/sister - sees me standing like a lump on a log & is like “”Nailz, come over here - you sit with us. You’re part of our family today.” He was so good to me.
Jason Jordan was the first person I ring announced at FCW & was always so helpful & obviously touted to be the next big star.
Gable had what most of the coaches called the best tryout they’d seen at NXT. This Revival match holds up big-time. All great talents.
Watched a 2002 WWF show broadcast from Japan the other day. Lots of cool things on it, this was a great conclusion. Lord Regal at his demonstrative best.
